    Dunhill shapes 1-30?

    Firefly!!!?? The cancellation of that show was a tragedy! Think of how much farther along our civilization would be, had they not cancelled that show!😂

    Getting Sick After <Daily Bowl

    This isn’t a “good” idea per se, but you could start smoking a few cigarettes a day, to get your nic tolerance up a lil bit. I’ve been smoking cigarettes since I was 17 (37 now) and I consider myself a nic heavy-weight. I VERY rarely get nic sick, and I believe that’s because I’ve been...

    Finally Scratched The Morta Itch

    Morta has intrigued me for awhile. I’ve yet to pull the rigger on one to find out the differences, or lack thereof, in smoking. Please let us know what you think! Oh! And, CONGRATS!!

    Any chance of getting someone to vouch for me?? I’ve been a member since 2013, but didn’t post that much til recently, because I was learning from all you very smart people!! I didn’t know about the Secret Santa before now, or I would’ve gotten my post count up.

    Meerschaum Spigot Inquiry

    @DanWil84 youre right, Metal on meerschaum would not last long at all! I also had one of those cutty style pipes from PipesDepot for a lil while, and that small sized spigot had a lil trouble staying together, but most of that problem was because I didn’t want to push too hard to put the tenon...

    Meerschaum Spigot Inquiry

    The metal on metal spigots are great. I have an Altinay, and it fits tighter and better than I thought it would. The mortise is a chunk of silver, it ain’t going anywhere! I’ve always thought the metal on metal was the ‘true’ spigot. Then there was military mount, like the Peterson system...

    Coloring Progress Over Time/No of Bowls in one Meerschaum Pipe

    First off! I love this thread! @cshubhra, your translucent pipes looks AWESOME! Second, I’ve not tried the sixpence/washer thing yet, but I have tried the block meerschaum filters that Altinay has for sale. About a month ago I bought an antique estate meer that had the draft hole egged out, and...

    Tekin logo.

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? It looks like the ‘Tekin’ logo was “set” into the meerschaum. There’s a line around the logo, and inside of it is way lighter than outside of it. I’ve just never seen this before.

    Temperature, Meerschaum and Myths

    Thank you everyone, for the responses!! That definitely eases my mind. I was hoping you Alaskan smokers would chime in!lol I’m sure the pup will be in more of my pics, even if a meer don’t explode.😁 she’s a (almost) 3 yr old blue heeler, with a couple others thrown in the mix. She’s a blue...

    Temperature, Meerschaum and Myths

    ok, so, I may be beating a deceased horse, but I couldn’t find too much anecdotal facts. I live in Tawas city Michigan, and have recently begun smoking meers exclusively. All has been all well and fine until the past few days when the mercury started to dip. That got me thinking about when I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    I bought a flame grain 80s a few years ago, and was not enamored with it at first, but I kept smoking it because I liked the shape and all. It’s turned into one of my favorite pipes and favorite shapes. I LOVE a good spigot also! Beautiful pipe there Mr. Inks!😀

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    Starting the smoking day off with LJ Peretti’s Oriental No. 40 in a recently acquired Tekin latticed squashed tomato meer that I got from PipesDepot on the Bay of e. Then It’ll be a bowl of Peretti’s Omega in a recently acquired Altinay apple spgiot
